BRITISH THRONE, MEET IRON THRONE

Queen Elizabeth Is Visiting the Game of Thrones Set

Just how surprisingly hip is Queen Elizabeth II? So surprisingly hip that the 88-year-old monarch has made plans to visit the Game of Thrones set during a trip to Northern Ireland next week. And so additionally hip that the British monarchy confirmed the forthcoming visit on Twitter today, carefully incorporating the proper Twitter handles and hash tags in the announcement.

As much as we want to believe that Queen Elizabeth II is a diehard Westeros junkie, visiting the Belfast studio where the gory HBO series is filmed to take selfies with baby dragons, force future story lines out of the showrunners, and hold Lena Headey personally accountable for that cruel Instagram “spoiler” of hers, the Queen is likely visiting in a more respectable capacity. Entertainment Weeklynotes that Game of Thrones is the biggest TV production in Europe and has boosted the economy of Northern Ireland by nearly $140 million. So maybe the Queen of England will formally thank any production staff present before asking Peter Dinklage to spar with her for a photo.

Considering how game Prince William and Kate Middleton were to pose with Batman and Harry Potter props during their visit to the Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden last year, maybe there is a chance that the world will get a photo of Queen Elizabeth sitting atop the Iron Throne. Or even better, an Instagram video of the Queen reviving King Joffrey from the—spoiler alert!—dead to give him the royal noogie he’s had coming to him.
